a simulation based water Environment Management model for regional sustainability in compound wetland ecosystem under multiple uncertainties
Ecological Modelling, 2016Co-Authors: Xueting Zeng, G H Huang, Huili Chen, Y P Li, X M KongAbstract:In this study, a simulation-based water-Environment Management model with Laplace scenario analysis (SWML) is developed for planning regional sustainability in compound wetland ecosystem. SWML can not only deal with spatial and temporal variations of hydrologic elements within the watershed, but also handle multiple uncertainties presented in terms of probability, possibility distributions, and fuzzy sets. Meanwhile, policy scenario analysis with Laplace's criterion (PSL) is introduced to handle probability of each scenario occurrence under insufficient data availability. The developed SWML is applied to water-Environment Management in Xixian wetland (located in north of China), where a compound wetland ecosystem (CWE) would be embedded into the concept of eco-county to remit contradiction between human activity and Environmental issue through ecological mechanism. Results of ecological effect, water allocation pattern, pollution mitigation scheme and system benefit under various scenarios are obtained, which can support policymakers adjusting current plan with a cost-effective and sustainable manner. Meanwhile, satisfaction degrees for constraints using necessity levels and Laplace's criterions can support generating a robust plan associated with risk control for regional sustainability in CWE under uncertainties. The findings can support building a new construction of integrated human being–ecological Environment system, which is beneficial to achieve integrity of socioeconomic development and eco-Environmental sustainability.

toward a better understanding of genotype Environment Management interactions a global wheat initiative agronomic research strategy
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020Co-Authors: Brian L. Beres, Jerry L Hatfield, J A Kirkegaard, Sanford D Eigenbrode, Romulo P Lollato, James R Hunt, Sheri Strydhorst, Kenton Porker, Drew J Lyon, Joel K RansomAbstract:The Wheat Initiative (WI) and the WI Expert Working Group (EWG) for Agronomy (www.wheatinitiative.org) were formed with a collective goal to "coordinate global wheat research efforts to increase wheat production, quality, and sustainability to advance food security and safety under changing climate conditions." The Agronomy EWG is responsive to the WI's research need, "A knowledge exchange strategy to ensure uptake of innovations on farm and to update scientists on changing field realities." The Agronomy EWG aims to consolidate global expertise for agronomy with a focus on wheat production systems. The overarching approach is to develop and adopt a systems-agronomy framework relevant to any wheat production system. It first establishes the scale of current yield gaps, identifies defensible benchmarks, and takes a holistic approach to understand and overcome exploitable yield gaps to complement genetic increases in potential yield. New opportunities to increase productivity will be sought by exploiting future Genotype × Environment × Management synergies in different wheat systems. To identify research gaps and opportunities for collaboration among different wheat producing regions, the EWG compiled a comprehensive database of currently funded wheat agronomy research (n = 782) in countries representing a large proportion of the wheat grown in the world. The yield gap analysis and research database positions the EWG to influence priorities for wheat agronomy research in member countries that would facilitate collaborations, minimize duplication, and maximize the global impact on wheat production systems. This paper outlines a vision for a global WI agronomic research strategy and discusses activities to date. The focus of the WI-EWG is to transform the agronomic research approach in wheat cropping systems, which will be applicable to other crop species.

water Environmental capacity calculation and allocation of the taihu lake basin in jiangsu province based on control unit
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2019Co-Authors: Juan Huang, Yong Pang, Xiaoqiang Zhang, Yifan TongAbstract:The water quality target Management of the control unit is a convenient and direct technology for water Environment Management and the development direction of water Environment Management in China, involving control unit division and water Environment capacity calculation. Taking the Taihu Lake Basin in Jiangsu Province as an example, we propose herein the basic principle of the division of a regional control unit in a plain river network and the method of analyzing the rationality of the control unit division. On this basis, the Taihu Lake Basin in Jiangsu Province was divided into 70 control units. To calculate the water Environmental capacity in the plain river network area, we established a water Environmental capacity calculation framework based on multiple targets of lakes and rivers, and proposed the goal of water quality “double compliance” of the water Environmental functional zone and the assessment section. For this study, we calculated the regional water Environmental capacity using the mathematical model of the Taihu Lake Basin’s water Environmental capacity, and the water Environmental capacities of the 70 control units were allocated by the weight coefficient method, which established water area and functional division length. The research results described herein were applied to the pollution permit Management of the Taihu Lake Basin in Jiangsu Province. It provides important technical support for the establishment of a pollution permit system based on the total capacity to improve Environmental quality.
